Number of US Facebook Users Over 35 Nearly Doubles in Last 60 Days
March 25th, 2009
| By Justin Smith | 137 Comments » | Share |
Don’t look now, but the number of Americans over 35, 45, and 55 on Facebook is growing fast. In the last 60 days alone, the number of people over 35 has nearly doubled. Developers and marketers may want to think about how to serve this group of new users.
Here are the latest stats on Facebook’s US audience gender and age demographics, according to the company:
Facebook US Audience Growth, Last 180 Days
Looking at Facebook US audience growth over the last 180 days, it’s clear that Facebook is seeing massive increases in adoption amongst users 35-65. The fastest growing demographic on Facebook is still women over 55 – there are now nearly 1.5 million of them active on Facebook each month.
The biggest growth in terms of absolute new users over the last six month came amongst users 35-44. Over 4 million more US women 35-44 and nearly 3 million more US men 35-44 used Facebook in March 2009 compared to September 2008.
US Facebook Users By Age and Gender
With the rapid growth amongst older users, the majority of US Facebook users are now over 25. There are now 6 million users 13-17, 19.5 million 18-25, 13.4 million 26-34, 9.7 million 35-44, 4.6 million 45-54, and 2.8 million over 55. In other words, there are more Facebook users 26-44 than 18-25 today.

Justin, these are interesting stats, but what’s the source of your data? Are you polling Facebook’s ad-targeting tool on a regular basis? Do you think it’s possible they’ve simply under-reported their data for a while?
March 25th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Jay, yes, this data comes from Facebook. I am assuming they are not under-reporting data for any specific user segment compared to any other, but you never know.

[...] Are we witnessing the start of a national trend? Totally, says the website Inside Facebook.

Great news for facebook, as well for the society. College goers are saturated on facebook, if aged people pick up then facebook will match the uniques of google/yahoo.

In addition to all the great viral features of FB, I think this trend is simple to explain…if parents want to view and share in the lives of their kids, its on FB…this also holds true for professional networking to a certain extent.
I don’t follow links to album sharing sites anymore….but I’ll tag, comment, share, etc photos from my family on FB anyday…my parents were slow to get an account a few months ago, but when they saw this, I now get poked by my mom and she comments on my status if I’m flying somewhere on business. Saves a call home!

At 55, with children scattered around the country, my heart is turned to my children and I miss the regular and personal connections with them. Facebook style networks let me get some of the memories back and develop some more.
Why the growth in 35+? Many have children and are learning the value of family connections. They desire for their parents to watch their grand children grow, so they use Facebook and other networking tools to make this happen.
I believe that it is all driven by a massive human desire to build upon great memories.

The data as presented seem not quite in synch. In the table “Facebook users by age and gender” the total of male and female differs from the sum of the data displayed. For example, the table shows 1,721,880 females and 1,024,540 males 55 to 65. This sums to 2,746,420 but the table gives 2,848,860 for a difference of 102,440 or 3.7%. This would seem to be more than rounding. What’s happening?

This is good news for news organizations. High School and college students may never be a major demographic for news organizations, but people 35 and older have always been at the core of what news organizations target. Just look at where the growth has been on Facebook this year (Twitter has been similar too): Looking at Facebook US audience growth over the last 180 days, it’s clear that Facebook is seeing massive increases in adoption amongst users 35-65.
